<p>Probably the last thing you thought you would hear doing the playoffs was<a title="Report: Tim Duncan And Wife File For Divorce" href="http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2013/05/report-tim-duncan-and-wife-file-for-divorce/"> Tim Duncan is getting a divorce</a>, but nothing goes unnoticed these days, so even though <a title="Report: Tim Duncan And Wife File For Divorce" href="http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2013/05/report-tim-duncan-and-wife-file-for-divorce/">Tim tried to keep it quiet, eventually it leaked.</a></p>
<p>With that being said the Spurs reminded members of the media that<a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/spurs/2013/05/25/tim-duncan-wife-getting-divorced/2360589/?sf13222276=1" target="_blank"> Duncan won&#8217;t be speaking on family matters.</a></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Amy Duncan apparently filed for divorce in March according to court documents obtained by the San Antonio Express-News. Spurs spokesman Tom James confirmed Saturday that Duncan and his wife are divorcing.</em></p>
<p><em>Duncan did not speak to reporters after Saturday morning&#8217;s shootaround, but James says the center will not be discussing his family situation.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Shaq calls Duncan the Big Fundamental, so it isn&#8217;t surprising that Duncan had a prenuptial agreement in place way back in 2001 when he and Amy were married.</p>
<p>I wouldn&#8217;t expect this to have any effect on Duncan&#8217;s play on the court.</p>

<p>Mets ace/their only hope Matt Harvey is living the dream life right now.</p>
<p>Despite his team being on one of the worst in baseball, he&#8217;s emerged as a diamond in the rough to capture the attention of the biggest sports town in the country and has taken the sport in general by storm.</p>
<p>Off the field he&#8217;s doing even better. He&#8217;s been reportedly dating SI model Anne Vyalitsyna, the two were said to have met in an elevator during a Rangers game, where they exchanged numbers. Reportedly the two have been taking things slow because of their busy schedules.</p>
<p>Currently Harvey is putting up Cy Young worthy numbers at the age of 24. He&#8217;s sporting a 5-0 record, a 1.93 ERA and 74 k&#8217;s in 70 innings pitched.</p>
<p>Fellas, you liking Mr. Harvey&#8217;s girl?</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It appears soccer player Robbie Rogers, will become the first openly gay athlete to play for a major U.S men&#8217;s professional sports team after agreeing to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy.</p>
<p>Earlier this year the 26-year-old decided to retire from the game after announcing he was gay on his blog, but it appears he has had a change of heart. <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/may/25/robbie-rogers-la-galaxy-soccer?CMP=twt_gu">According to the Guardian</a>, Rogers will hold a press conference on Saturday to announce his decision, after the Galaxy and the team that held his rights since he last played in England, the Chicago Fire, came to an agreement.</p>
<p>Rogers, had been training in southern California with the Galaxy for the past few weeks where his family is located. Rogers, recently spoke to<a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mls/2013/05/24/robbie-rogers-mls-galaxy-openly-gay/2160105/"> USA Today </a>about his return, saying that he decided to return to the game after talking to LGBT youth forum in Portland last month.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;These kids are standing up for themselves and changing the world, and I&#8217;m 25, I have a platform and a voice to be a role model. How much of a coward was I to not step up to the plate?&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Slowly but surely, the right steps are being taken to make the possibility of an overall more progressive mindset in professional sports as far as an athlete&#8217;s sexuality, a reality.</p>

<p>Glass half full, it is better than being arrested. Holyfield has owed child support since the 90s on his various kids, but to give him an incentive to pay, <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2013/05/25/evander-holyfield-drivers-license-child-support-lawsuit/" target="_blank">they have suspended his driver&#8217;s license.</a></p>
<blockquote><p><em>The GA Dept of Human Services has been trying to collect cash from Holyfield for months, after he was ordered to pay over $500,000 in child support for his daughter Emani Holyfield &#8230; but E.H. continuously failed to do so.</em></p>
<p><em>Holyfield was even put on a payment plan to chip away at the debt &#8230; paying $2,950 per month &#8230; but according to court docs, he missed several payments and still owes $327,858.36.</em></p>
<p><em>Now, a Georgia judge has given the Division of Child Support Services the green light to strip Holyfield of his driver&#8217;s license &#8212; or start the process at least &#8212; as an incentive to get him to pay up.</em></p></blockquote>

<p>Jay Z has NFL agents running scared.  His Roc Nation Sports has partnered with CAA and they are now making big time moves.</p>
<p>Roc Nation Sports has just been hired by Geno Smith, and more players are set to join the Roc.  Yesterday we reported that <a title="After Agents Complain NFLPA Looks Into Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports" href="http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2013/05/after-agents-complaints-nflpa-looking-into-jay-zs-roc-nation-sports/"><strong>the NFLPA was looking into Jay Z, his Roc Nations Sports,</strong></a> and allegations that Shawn Carter is acting as runner, in recruiting athletes since he is not a certified agent.</p>
<p>The NFLPA has now spoken, and according to <a title="NFLPA Says Jay-Z Hasn't Broken Any Rules" href="http://usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2013/05/24/nfl-players-association-roc-nation-jay-z-tom-condon-kimberly-miale-geno-smith/2359423/"><strong>USA Today Sports</strong></a> via George Atallah, a spokesman for the union, said the organization has found no issues with CAA&#8217;s partnership with Roc Nation as it pertains to the &#8220;runner rule,&#8221; which allows only certified agents to recruit players.</p>
<p>Atallah  stated that CAA checked with the union before signing New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz to see if the NFLPA would have any issues with their signing him.</p>
<p>The NFLPA said there was no problem with adding Cruz to their list of clients because there was already a longstanding friendship between Cruz and Jay-Z.</p>
<p>Roc Nation was only supposed to handle Cruz&#8217;s marketing, not his contract negotiations. CAA&#8217;s Tom Condon is Cruz&#8217;s new contract agent and will continue to work with the Giants on a long-term contract.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We are aware of the relationship between CAA and Roc Nation,&#8221; Atallah wrote. &#8220;We sent a formal inquiry to CAA asking them about their recruitment of players, in particular Victor Cruz. Both CAA and Victor responded. No violations in recruitment were found.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Atallah indicated they will do their due dillengence on Roc Nation&#8217;s signing of New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith as its first client.</p>
<p>Smith didn&#8217;t hire CAA, he hired Kimberly Miale, a certified agent who was hired by Roc Nation Sports, but has only two clients, neither of whom has played in an NFL regular-season game.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We will be reaching out to all of the parties involved to get a better understanding of the nature of those relationships,&#8221; Atallah wrote.</p></blockquote>

<p>Derrick Rose had a rough year and an even rougher post season as nightly speculation about whether or not Rose would return to the Bulls during the playoffs.</p>
<p>Rose has taken a ton of heat, and had pundits, media types, and his peers questioning his heart.   Rose&#8217;s college coach is now coming to his defense, and he doesn&#8217;t question Rose or his heart.</p>
<p>John Calipari was on the <a href="http://cleveland.cbslocal.com/2013/05/24/john-calipari-says-chris-grant-cavs-have-been-most-thorough-on-noel/" target="_blank">Adam “the Bull” &amp; Dustin Fox show</a> on 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland, and was asked about Rose not playing during the playoffs.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“An NBA player’s body, if he does anything to hurt his own body he’s wrecking his own career. You let them listen to their bodies.<br />
</em><br />
<em>“The second thing is, I’ve talked to Chicago Bulls management, I know all those guys… and you know what? They’re fine. They didn’t want him to go back. As a matter of fact, they wanted to announce he wasn’t coming back, but Derrick didn’t want to do it because he thought if there is any chance for me to come back…<br />
</em><br />
<em>“But let me ask you this: At the end of the day after they got going, and they were going to play Miami in the second (round), what good would it have done other than he could have got hurt? Tell me what good it could have done?<br />
</em><br />
<em>“So all this stuff, is all fine, all I can tell you is he’s a great kid, the Bulls supported him. I support him because I’m not gonna (say), ‘Yea, head out there, why doesn’t he come back this is crazy the doctor cleared him, okay now he got hurt.’ How do you feel now?…<br />
</em><br />
<em>“Knowing him the way he is, knowing he is a great kid and somebody who probably in the worst way wanted to play, but just was so tentative he wasn’t right. He didn’t trust it yet and you gotta respect that.”<br />
</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Rose not playing was fine, if he wasn&#8217;t ready, then he wasn&#8217;t ready. The Bulls made the mistake of trying to pressure Rose by leaking the fact that he was cleared sometime after the All Star break.</p>
<p>Derrick Rose has plenty of great seasons left, and that&#8217;s all that should be important.</p>

<p>The Indiana Pacers showed incredible heart and resiliency by responding in game two of the Eastern Conference Finals and stealing one in Miami.</p>
<p>The Pacers should be up 2-0, but will take going back to Indiana with the series tied.  The Pacers were able to get LeBron James to commit to late turnovers during the ball game.</p>
<p>After the game, Pacers point guard George Hill was asked if there was any player in the world more dangerous with the ball in that situation.</p>
<p>According to <a title="George Hill Says Only God Is Scarier To Face Than LeBron James" href="http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/05/25/george-hill-says-only-god-is-scarier-to-face-than-lebron-james/"><strong>Pro Basketball Talk</strong></a>, Hill said no one player is more scarier to face than King James himself.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Yeah, it’s only like one person that’s more scarier than that and that’s God,” Hill said. “I’m sure if we’re looking at him in the face, we would be very nervous. I’m sure he can make all the plays that we want people to make.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Hill is aware that the turnovers were unusual for James, and he doesn&#8217;t expect James to repeat such a performance.</p>
<blockquote><p>“LeBron is a great player,” Hill said. “He’s the MVP for a reason. “He’s one of the best that ever played this game. He’s a big focal point. We know that he’s up there probing the floor and looking at everything. We can’t just focus on him. We have to focus on the people around him, because he’s a great play‑maker. He has our full attention.”</p></blockquote>

<p>Michael Vick is feeling like he has his swagger back, and with that he&#8217;s puffing his chest out and letting people know how he feels.</p>
<p>Vick is aware of all the young supposedly fast quarterbacks in the league, and he wants them to know he&#8217;s the fastest.  During a recent appearance on the <a title="Michael Vick: I'm Faster Than RG3, Colin Kaepernick" href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=D5cw6j0G4DA&amp;feature=player_embedded"><strong>Dan Patrick Show</strong></a>, Vick said he could beat Robert Griffin III, Colin Kaepernick, or anyone else in a race.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;These guys are young and they&#8217;re fast and they&#8217;re quick, the thing I do have is a very quick get-up,&#8221; Vick said. &#8220;I really don&#8217;t feel like there&#8217;s a quarterback in the league that can beat me in a 40-yard dash.</p>
<p>&#8220;If somebody wants to set something up, I&#8217;ll be more than glad to accept the challenge. But as of right now I&#8217;m going to say me. But <a id="yui_3_5_0_2_1369496555295_1770" href="http://www.nfl.com/player/colinkaepernick/2495186/profile">Colin Kaepernick</a> is fast and <a id="yui_3_5_0_2_1369496555295_1771" href="http://www.nfl.com/player/robertgriffiniii/2533033/profile">RG3</a> is fast, as well.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Vick told Patrick he still runs a &#8220;4.4 &#8212; maybe a high 4.4 (40-yard dash) &#8212; but my quickness is there.&#8221;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We brought you the news earlier this week that the Dallas Mavericks were <a href="http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/report_mavericks_shopping_lottery_pick_to_make_run_at_dwight_howard_cp3/13678970?linksrc=foxrg_home">reportedly attempting to shop their lottery pick</a> in the hopes to create enough cap space to sign both Dwight Howard and Chris Paul this off-season. It appears that reportedly, the plans have changed in Dallas.</p>
<p>Per <a href="http://www.star-telegram.com/2013/05/22/4877736/mavericks-are-preparing-hot-pursuit.html">Dwain Price</a> of the <em>Fort Worth Star-Telegram, </em>the Mavericks have given up on the chances of acquiring Chris Paul to focus solely on bringing Dwight into town.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I think Chris Paul, depending on who [the Clippers] hire, is going to stay with the Clippers. The Mavericks are really interested in Chris Paul, but I think they want Dwight more. They think they can make them a point guard.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>According to the report the Mavericks have decided to look elsewhere to remedy their point guard needs. Particularly setting their sights on Golden State Warriors guard Jarret Jack, who will also be a free agent this off-season.</p>
<p>Patience with these situations is key because we won&#8217;t know what to believe until free agency actually opens up on July 1st. We&#8217;ll keep you updated throughout the saga of Dwightmare 2.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2013/05/tony-parker-denied-service-at-memphis-restaurant-iris/tony-parker-denied-service-to-restaurant-iris/" rel="attachment wp-att-138865"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-138865" alt="Tony-Parker-denied-service-to-restaurant-iris" src="http://blacksportsonline.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Tony-Parker-denied-service-to-restaurant-iris.jpg" width="368" height="246" /></a></p>
<p>The San Antonio Spurs are in Memphis with a 2-0 series lead and all the momentum in their series with the Memphis Grizzlies.</p>
<p>Spurs star point guard Tony Parker wanted a bite to eat, and headed to the <strong><a title="Tony Parker Denied Service At Memphis Restaurant Iris" href="http://restaurantiris.com/">R</a><a title="Tony Parker Denied Service At Memphis Restaurant Iris" href="http://restaurantiris.com/">estaurant Iris</a></strong>,which is run by acclaimed chef Kelly English.</p>
<p>Parker is an all NBA point, a food connoisseur and now he can relate to the many people who haven&#8217;t been able to get into a restaurant after being turned away from Iris according to the <a title="Tony Parker Denied Service At Memphis Restaurant Iris" href="http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2013/05/25/tony-parker-denied-service-at-memphis-restaurant-it-was-too-busy/"><strong>Big Lead</strong></a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2013/05/tony-parker-denied-service-at-memphis-restaurant-iris/tony-parker-denied-service-at-iris/" rel="attachment wp-att-138861"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-138861" alt="tony-parker-denied-service-at-Iris" src="http://blacksportsonline.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/tony-parker-denied-service-at-Iris.jpg" width="519" height="210" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Head chef Kelly English then tried to justify why Parker was turned away from a restaurant in the rival city, and then tried to explain to the world that it wasn&#8217;t done on purpose.</p>
<p><a href="http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2013/05/tony-parker-denied-service-at-memphis-restaurant-iris/tony-parker-denied-service-at-iris-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-138862"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-138862" alt="tony-parker-denied-service-at-Iris" src="http://blacksportsonline.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/tony-parker-denied-service-at-Iris1.jpg" width="553" height="207" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Iris coincidently doesn&#8217;t have any tables available for Parker until after the series returns back to San Antonio.</p>
<p><a href="http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2013/05/tony-parker-denied-service-at-memphis-restaurant-iris/restaurant-iris-availability-tony-parker/" rel="attachment wp-att-138863"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-138863" alt="restaurant-iris-availability-tony-parker" src="http://blacksportsonline.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/restaurant-iris-availability-tony-parker.png" width="736" height="343" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The restaurant seeing that a storm was brewing, released a statement on the treatment given to Parker.</p>
<blockquote><p>At Restaurant Iris we pride ourselves on the service we provide to our guests. From the moment you make a reservation, to when you walk out of our door, it’s our job to ensure you experience both incredible food and service.</p>
<p>That experience begins with a reservation. Due to the size of our restaurant, there is currently a two week delay for a weekend reservation. We would not cancel a reservation that a guest made-and waited two weeks for- in order to make room for someone else without a reservation- celebrity or not. We respect our guests and their time, and appreciate their choice to dine with us.</p></blockquote>

<p>When assistant coaches start receiving technical fouls in an important playoff game, that&#8217;s when you know you have a series on your hands. During the second quarter of Game 2 between the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat, assistant coach Brian Shaw received a technical for getting too lippy, then was seen yealling &#8220;Ball don&#8217;t lie!&#8221; after Ray Allen missed the free throw.</p>

<p>The NBA loves to unveil new playoff ads, and in their latest one from the league’s Finals 2013 “BIG” campaign, they feature their biggest star, who had to sit out the playoffs due to an Achilles tear.</p>
<p>The ad shows The Black Mamba at his finest from 2002 totally taking Todd MacCulloch‘s cornbread, as the Lakers went on to steamroll the Nets.</p>
<p>No word on whether MacCulloch ever recovered from the dunk.</p>

<p>The Washington Nationals like a number of other teams that were expected to accomplish big things this season, have struggled so far. The Nationals 24-23 record is respectable, but they&#8217;re second-worst hitting team in the major leagues sporting a woeful .225 average.</p>
<p>Well, <a href="http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/johnson-says-no-shave-until-214107932--mlb.html">according a story via Yahoo! Sports</a>, Nationals manager Davey Johnson, is trying everything he can to get the team out of its prolonged funk including, not shaving.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8221;I figured I couldn&#8217;t get any uglier, so what the heck.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The Nationals sit 4.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves in the National League East Division, so all isn&#8217;t lost, but the team needs to come out of the slump sooner rather than later if they are to keep pace with their rivals.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Said Johnson: &#8221;Maybe I can change the luck.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>

<p>The team isn&#8217;t very good, going 24-32 on the season, but losing hasn&#8217;t seemed to impede their ability to have fun. <a href="http://bustedcoverage.com/2013/05/23/u-of-cincinnati-baseball-team-wins-post-game-photobomb-title-video/">According to Busted Coverage</a>, one unintended videobomb earlier in the season has snowballed into repeated attempts by the Bearcats players to outdo each other while their teammates do post-game interviews.</p>

<p>When Ray Lewis retired from the Baltimore Ravens, many people speculated that the two-time Super Bowl champion was a shell of his old self.</p>
<p>However Lewis is showcasing he still has it, while taking on a new mission to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.</p>
<p>In one month Lewis will be traveling to Tanzania in an effort to raise money and awareness for clean water in East Africa.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“I am so FIRED UP for this adventure, but until then, I need your help to bring clean water wells to thousands of children and families,” </em>Lewis said on a <a href="http://raylewis.lockerdome.com/contests/107811641" target="_blank">LockerDome online posting</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Fans who want to help out for a cause are encouraged to spread the world via Twitter and donate $10 to <a href="http://raylewis.lockerdome.com/contests/107811641">TackleKili</a>. In addition to your donation going to an incredible cause, fans will also have their name entered into a drawing to win a Ray Lewis autograph helmet.</p>
<p>With one month looming ahead before Lewis climbs the tallest mountain in Africa, let us hope and pray he isn’t afraid of heights.</p>
<p>I hate to be the messenger with bad news, but people die from attempting this yearly.</p>
<p>No mountain formed against you shall prosper Rev Rey.</p>
